(3D) 180° VR capture
The RF 5.2mm features a compact, single mount design that ensures a quick and easy setup for professional stereoscopic 180° VR capture.
The lens produces a stereoscopic 190° field of view giving you a more immersive experience. This is achieved with two offset circular fisheye images that are perfectly synchronised and recorded side-by-side onto a single Full Frame sensor.
You will need to use a compatible high resolution, full-frame, RF mount camera, such as the EOS R5*, in combination with Canon’s powerful EOS VR Utility**/plug-in** to process for your final edit with no additional stitching required.
* May require a firmware update
** A subscription service will allow access to the more professional features/codecs and conversion of longer movie clips, while more basic features, shorter movie lengths and stills can be processed for free
Two UD elements
The lens consists of dual fisheye lenses and utilises two UD elements per lens to correct for aberrations and to ensure high-quality image capture. The lenses have been coated in Canon’s special SWC coating that helps to reduce ghosting and flare, even in backlit conditions.
Perfect for low-light shooting
This is a perfect lens for low-light shooting thanks to its fast f2.8 aperture. The lens also features Dual EMD (Electro-Magnetic-Diaphragm) units which help to accurately synchronise exposure and precise control of the aperture between the two left and right images.
Rugged L-series build and weather resistant
The RF 5.2mm f2.8L has been designed with the professional in mind and the demanding conditions that they may find themselves in. Like all L-series lenses, it is dust and splash resistant and features a fluorine coating that helps to repel water and dirt on the surface of the lens.
Precise exposure control
The Canon fisheye lens features a rear-mounted gelatin filter holder for pre-cut ND gels. This allows the user to precisely control light levels when working in bright conditions.

FAQ
Will there be any additional software available to edit the180°VR capture?
Yes. Canon will shortly be releasing their EOS VR Utility* software that will allow for easier editing and playback. It will also perform a process known as 'equirectangular conversion' that processes the imagery to be viewed on a VR headset.
They will also be releasing the EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro* that will enable content creators to convert and edit directly from their NLE application enabling them to grade and edit their footage.
